Adnams’ new Cellar & Kitchen shop comes to Richmond

Adnams has brought their innovative Cellar & Kitchen store concept out of East Anglia and into the city, with a new store open in Richmond. Adnams already has eight highly successful Cellar & Kitchen stores across East Anglia and their huge popularity has led to customer demand for Cellar & Kitchen in more urban areas, hence the move to Richmond. Adnams will be announcing more store openings across the UK later this year.

Adnams’ Cellar & Kitchen stores offer an extensive range of wines (many of them exclusive to Adnams) and kitchenware, which customers will be unlikely to find elsewhere on the high street. Adnams’ wine buyers Alistair Marshall and Rob Chase personally select their collection of over 600 wines. These internationally renowned wine experts travel the world in search of distinctive and characterful wines. Every bottle is sourced from small-scale, environmentally responsible producers and over 20 percent of the list is of organic or biodynamic origin.

Like their wines, the Adnams’ kitchenware team select their range with great care and attention to create a range of stylish, inspirational products that make everyday living that little bit more special. They stock all the essential kitchenware items you would expect to find, in addition to a range of more quirky, unusual and designer kitchen implements. Every item will make an individual and stylish addition to the home.

Amita Patel, Manager of the new Richmond store, commented, “Adnams is all about relaxation and great experience, which is why our stores hold such an affinity with our customers. Each store has a special tasting area, where delectable wines are always open and available to try. It will be ideal for those customers passing by the shop who want to pop in and try something new, or commuters who want to find that special bottle of wine for dinner that evening. What’s more, Adnams’ staff will always be on hand to offer customers their extensive wine knowledge and advise them on wine and food matching.”

Amita continued, “The expansion into Richmond has also created a great opportunity for the recruitment of talented retail managers. For those that have a passion for wine and food and are looking to move into an exciting new role within a dynamic company, this could be the perfect chance to contribute to this unique retail experience.”

Rupert Farquharson, Adnams’ Director of Retail, adds, “We are delighted to branch into London with our innovative Cellar & Kitchen stores and Richmond is an ideal location for expansion, where we will appeal to customers looking for exclusive and interesting wines, and premium kitchenware. However, we won’t stop here; our plans are to take the Adnams’ Cellar & Kitchen concept across the country and to have 30 stores before the end of 2012.”

The Richmond Cellar & Kitchen Store is open Monday – Saturday 9am – 6pm and Sunday 11am – 4pm.
